Tomorrow the Nada Surf album officially comes out. If you don't already have some type of advanced copy, I would highly recommend the purchase.
There is a song called "Beautiful Beat" which basically describes how amazing music can be and how he tried to fix all his problems through sound. While this is probably not the best way to go through life, it also isn't a terrible way either. Music really can touch a lot of places that friends sometimes have difficulty relating to. It is what makes it so powerful and relate-able.
I think Mikkele is probably going to crack up right now, but I am totally on a soap box right now about the community aspect of music. Without the community aspect of music, you have sound that means nothing. Yet, gather people around, let them enjoy, discuss, and yearn to hear the song more than once. That is the true power of a good song - even if only two people in the world like a song, it is more meaningful to have somebody to share that love with.
For me, the song that I love that probably everyone in the world would hate is a small list of the following:
*Halo - by Haley James Scott (yes, I know it is fictional, but it is on the soundtrack!)
*Every time we touch - by Cascada (euro techno at its best, but uber annoying after listen 300)
*Real Love - Mary J. Blige
My philosophy - like what you like. You will always find someone else who you can share that with.

you're right. i laughed.
for real though, i am the same way about community development (always wanting to talk about it and people not always getting it) so i totally love that you are so excited about this. because i love getting really excited about things that will never disappoint you.
